Dani Olmo case, live: registration in LaLiga and caution of Barcelona live

Official: Barça is already in the 1:1 rule

Although the statement just published by the RFEF has poured cold water on Barcelona's hopes of registering Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, it also brings good news.

In this they also recognize that the LaLiga Budget Validation Body has resolved to extend the Sports Squad Cost Limit (salary limit) of Barcelona. Thus, Barcelona enters the 1:1 rule and will have more room for incorporations and registrations.

What is the 1:1 rule?

Basically the 1:1 rule means that a club can spend every euro it earns on sales or transfers of players to re-sign, but with a nuance. When a club buys a player, the expense involved in these operations is divided into the contract years for which it is signed. It must also be taken into account that the player's salary, whether it is a signing or a departure, is also counted in income or expenses, depending on the years of contract for which they signed or that remained to be fulfilled. That is, if a player is sold or transferred, in addition to the transfer, the salary that the club saves is counted.

That is, if Barcelona signs a player for 10 million euros with a salary of 1 million a year for five years, the space they will need to create will be 3 million euros, the result of dividing the cost of the signing over the five years. contract and add your annual salary.

In the case of transfers, it must also be taken into account that the amount that remains to be amortized by the player must be subtracted from the amount deposited. If a footballer signed for 10 million five seasons ago is sold when he still has two years left on his contract and is now sold for the same 10 million, from this amount we would have to subtract the 4 million that would still remain to be amortized, that is, only 6 million revenues would arrive.
